Operation
Modes of Operation
In
Alternating Mode
, alternate mattress
cells inflate and deflate following a fixed
cycle time of
12 minutes
, with the exception
of static head cells.
Alternating mode is used for normal therapeutic
function.
In
Static Mode
, all mattress cells are inflated
thereby suspending the alternation cycle
and any therapeutic patient benefits, in
order to facilitate nursing or feeding.
In
Auto Firm Mode
, all mattress cells are
inflated to maximum pressure to create
the firmest possible base for stable patient
handling, transfer or other special circumstances.
The system will operate in Static Mode or Auto
Firm Mode for a maximum of 30 minutes, after
which it will automatically revert to Alternating
Mode for patient safety.
During power failure/outage, the ProCair Prime
Universal Therapy System will stop functioning
and PF arlam code will be displayed on the
Alarm Indicator, accompanied by an audible
alarm. The system will return to its normal
operation when mains power supply is resumed.
Quick Twist CPR
Rapid deflation of the mattress may be required for
emergency treatment (or to pack up the unit).
The Quick Twist CPR valve is located at the top of the
mattress, to the right of the patient’s head.
If emergency resuscitation is required, turn the CPR
valve so the arrows are aligned with the ‘OPEN’
position markers. This will rapidly deflate the entire
system, including static head cells.
CPR IN THE CLOSED POSITION.
TWIST IN EITHER DIRECTION TO OPEN
CPR IN THE OPEN POSITION.
TWIST IN EITHER DIRECTION TO CLOSE
To reinflate the system after the Quick Twist CPR
valve has been released, turn the tab and align the
arrows with the the ‘CLOSED’ position markers,
ensure control unit is switched on and wait for the
system to regain optimal pressure.
